You just have to brush off the pain.

[lauren.]

Rodney;
I smiled and kissed her forehead,"I love you too,"I murmured quietly before falling asleep.

Darcy;
I looked towards the door then back at my arm,"I'm fine, Josh. Go away,"I said as I ran my arm under the running water, wincing and breathing in deeply.

[haileyjordan]

Cassandra,
It was about nine in the morning and I was still knocked out. I was tangled in the sheets, letting out a small moan as I rolled on my side. I had become a late sleeper since I left.

Joshua,
"Darcy please. You are not fine," I said as I ran my hand through my hair. It angered me that she was doing this. I slammed my fist on the door, "Why the fuck are you doing this?" I whined. It worried the hell out of me. If she hit something...it could be the end of her. That wasn't happening if I had a part in it.

[lauren.]

Rodney;
I had been awake since 7 & was already downstairs looking through the paper. Though Cass was on my mind. Sleeping late, weight loss, & hiding something from me. It just all made me confused.

Darcy;
I grabbed my towel and pressed it against my arm. "Please, just go,"I said putting pressure against my arm. Why did he have to catch me every time? Tears continued to fall my head spinning.

[haileyjordan]

Cassandra,
I stirred in my sleep, which woke me up. I opened my eyes into slits, then let out a yawn as I slowly sat up, rubbing my face. I looked over at the clock, "Crap..." I mumbled as I got out of bed, running a hand through my hair before a made my way downstairs.

Joshua,
"Godammnit Darcy I'm not leaving. I'm not leaving until you decide that what you're doing is ridiculous." I told her. "Is this because of me? Darcy, I'm stopping for you. Don't do this to me. I'm pretty much begging," I said behind the closed door before I slid down on the floor, putting my head in my hands.

[lauren.]

Rodney;
I glanced up as Cass finally decided to join the day. "Well I was soon to thinking that you were dead up there,"I said as I out the paper down. "Glad you could join the day,"I said giving her a small smile.

Darcy;
I stayed quiet not answeng any of his questions. After awhile I looked down at my arm, noticing that the blood was just drenching the towel. I began to panic,"Oh God,"I said as I pulled the towel away and threw it into the tub. I grabbed another towel hoping to stop the bleeding but it didn't seem like it would. "Oh please stop,"I said to myself.

[haileyjordan]

Cassandra,
I smiled shyly as I took a seat at the table. "I think it's just the fact that I'm in my actual bed," I said as I yawned again. "It's just really nice waking up here."

Joshua,
I heard her say 'oh God' and I instantly got up again. "Darcy!" I yelled, "Open this fucking door!" My heart was pounding. I was ready to call either the cops of the ambulance any second. She couldn't be doing this. Not now.

[lauren.]

Rodney;
I chuckled quietly,"Well it was nice having you back in my arms,"I said. "Would you like some coffee?"I asked getting up so I could pour myself more.

Darcy;
"I-I'm okay. I-I'll be out in a little b-bit,"I called out, but sounding panicked. Press harder you idiot. I pressed the clothe hard against my arm, praying it would just stop. I sat down on the ground, craddling my arm as I sobbed quietly.

[haileyjordan]

Cassandra,
I smiled, "I would love some, thank you," I said as I watched him. "What have you done, while I was gone?" I asked. I was curious.

Joshua,
"Screw this," I said as I went into the bedroom, throwing things around until I finally found a paper clip. I had learned how to pick locks when I was a kid. I went to the bathroom and quickly picked the locked, throwing the door open as I saw Darcy on the floor. "Shit Darcy," I said as I took my shirt off, taking the towel away from her as I wrapped my shirt tightly around her wrist.

[lauren.]

Rodney;
I handed her the mug as I sat back down,"Well, I've been working on getting sober. I joined some classes to help me even. I've been trying to find a good job,"I said looking down into my coffee. "I've been sober since the night you left,"I said looking at her.

Darcy;
"It w-won't stop,"I stuttered as I stared at the blood on the floor. I kept repeating it, having the anxiety that I might die from this. "M-make it stop,"I cried gasping at the tightness of his shirt wrapped around my arm.

[haileyjordan]

Cassandra,
I met his eyes when he looked at me. He really meant it when he said it that night, I just never knew that actually leaving was all he needed. "I'm really proud of you Rodney. It means the world to me."

Joshua,
"Darcy you need to calm down, I'm going to call an ambulance but you need to keep your breathing even. It will stop, just relax," I said as I pulled out my phone, quickly calling the 911. I gave them all my information and hung up, sliding Darcy into my arms as I carried her downstairs. She was going to pass out soon if she lost any more blood. "Just put as much pressure on it as you can."

[lauren.]

Rodney;
"Good,because that was my goal,"I said with seriousness as I looked back into her eyes. I cleared my throat as I sat up a little in my chair. "So what have you been up to?"I asked, wanting to get to the bottom of all of her changes.

Darcy;
I tried to put as much pressure as I could. "Why did you call them? I don't want the ambulance to come here. Take me back!"I cried. I felt ashamed, embarrassed. Our neighbors will see. I couldn't help but panic causing me to become lightheaded. But also the loss of blood causing this. "J-Josh,"I said quietly before my vision went black.

[haileyjordan]

Cassandra,
Oh you know, just doing drugs and not eating, the usual. I shrugged, "I took on a job at a small coffee shop just to be able to pay for groceries and the fee for my room. I just haven't been doing much lately. I guess I just lost control of my life for a little bit." I said, chewing on my lip.

Joshua,
"Oh no Darcy please don't do this to me," I said as I panicked myself. She was scaring the hell out of me. Why did she push away my help? The question I kept asking; why was she doing this? I heard the ambulance pull up and didn't even give it a chance to really stop before I ran outside with Darcy in my grasp, helping them load her into the ambulance.
(If you don't want to play an unconscious person we can always skip to when she's there or something lol)

[lauren.]

Rodney;
I watched her closely,"Why did you lose control of it? You're always that girl who has her life organized,"I said taking a drink of my coffee.

Darcy;
(Haha, yeah. I'll go ahead & skip to when she wakes up.)
I couldn't open my eyes at the moment but I could hear the sound of beeping. Where was I? I struggled to open my eyes, managing to get them to open slightly. I was in a white room, IV's plugged into my arms. I began trying to take them out not understanding.

[haileyjordan]

Cassandra,
"When I was with you," I said softly. "You set me on the ground and helped me focus on the things that mattered most to me. Because I didn't have that it was hard," I said. It was true, but mainly because I chose to act the way I did.

Joshua,
I huge weight lifted off my shoulders when I saw her wake up. I gently put my hand on hers. "Darcy you're in the hospital. You have IVs in you to help you, you can't take them out," I said softly. I wanted to cry because of how happy I was. My girlfriend would still be by my side.

[lauren.]

Rodney;
"Me?" I chuckled quietly. "I was probably more of a nuisance with my problems,"I said messing with the ends of the newspaper. I looked over at her suddenly serious,"You're okay though? Nothing I need to be concerned about?"I asked wanting her to tell me the truth.

Darcy;
I looked at Josh sort of in a daze,"I don't want to be here. They probably thunk I need to be in a mental hospital,"I mumbled my voice harsh causing me to wince. I looked down at my arm and it was in a cast now, probably stitched up and they put the cast on so I couldn't cut again. My eyes welled up with tears as I felt so stupid.
